Chapter 9 There is no good banquet

Le Qi stood aside and looked at Mu Qingya sitting by the window! After yesterday's conversation, she seemed to have stopped and continued to ask her thoughts. As if she was really just a maid she bought, the master's instructions were even more ridiculous. He even said that if Mu Qingya asked about Jiangnan, she would tell the truth! Rao, who has been trained since she was a child, can't help but be confused. She can't figure out the thoughts of Mu Qingya and her master, so she can only continue to be the pawn of the game between the two!

"Leqi, go and explore my father's study tonight and draw the layout of the study!" Mu Qingya's soft instructions were heard in Leqi's ears like a thunder!

"Miss, you...you know..."

Mu Qingya interrupted her: "Miss I don't know anything. You just need to follow my instructions!"

"Yes!" Leqin gritted her teeth and was extremely annoyed. She really didn't know where the flaw was. Before she came, she even used medicine to remove the calluses left by martial arts practice, and even practiced walking, with absolutely without a trace of martial arts practice! So how on earth did she find out!

Leqin came in and brought in a beautiful red invitation: "Miss, Miss Chen's invitation has been delivered!"

"Hmm!" Mu Qingya nodded. Chen Lu's birthday was really at a good time. "My father will definitely prepare gifts. Can you send someone to ask his father what gifts he will prepare?"

"I heard this morning that the master and the young master came back and brought a lot of good wine. Chen Daoyuan was addicted to alcohol by nature. Some time ago, he pointed out that the master should bring a few jars, saying that no matter how many other gifts could be compared with those jars of wine!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and Mu Qingya raised the corners of his mouth. Wine and color are the most misleading. It seems that this Taoist Chen himself does not want to be safe!

"I know! Then we don't have to prepare!"

Leqin wondered, "Miss, we should bring some gifts."

"It's useless to bring it, and someone has to collect it!" Mu Qingya looked at the bird cage hanging outside the window, "I don't like these beasts. Let them all go!"

"Yes, Miss!" Leqin was surprised. Aren't these the lady's favorite teases before? Looking at the young lady's back, I feel relieved. It's none of her business if the young lady's preferences change. As a girl, she only needs to serve a good lady!

At this time, Mu Yizhi sat in the study with a solemn look. Taoist Chen was Mu Yizhi's boss and has always taken good care of him. However, at this jux, he couldn't help thinking a little more. Although the house is quiet these days, he is always very uneasy. The book records the embezzlement of taxes of the officials under the second prince. Silver's account book was like a stone pressing on his heart, which made him feel extremely difficult when he gasped. He not only had to adhere to his principles, but also didn't want to joke about the lives of his wife and daughter. For a moment, he only felt that his hair was almost white! Now, I can only take one step at a time. Before leaving, I ordered the young man to carefully check all the wine, and I didn't find any omissions before I felt at ease!

Qin Yue did not need to go to such a banquet. Mu Qingya's carriage followed Mu Yi directly!

In the carriage, Leqin and Leqi were waiting, while Mu Qingya looked at the drawings in her hand. What she took was Mu Yizhi's study drawings that Leqi drew. Leqi said without knowing how to move:

"Miss, I heard that Mr. Chen Dao invited Mr. Sun De, the inspector of Liangjiang this time!"

"Sun De?" Mu Qingya handed the drawings in her hand to Le Qi and motioned her to continue.

"Well, Sun De's methods are smooth and the most versatile. Although she has no background, after taking the entrance examination nine years ago, she has been prosperous all the way to the position of the two rivers. Because of the problem with the tax bank this time, she came to Linjiang City! Come to attend Taoist Chen's banquet, secretly..."

Mu Qingya sneered and was prosperous all the way. Humph, if no one supported Kangzhuang Avenue from behind his back! However, Leqi told herself the news, I'm afraid it's a hint that this inspector is a usable person, so she should pay attention to it! Since she can save some effort, she is naturally happy to see it! However, the identity of the master of Leqi is not simple. An official from the third grade can actually use it for him...

The carriage quickly arrived at Chen Daoyuan's mansion all the way. At this moment, Chen's mansion was already full of people. Seeing the arrival of Mu Yizhi's carriage, officials with low official positions stopped to salute each other one after another! Mu Qingya's carriage had already stopped first and took a detour to the side door and took a sedan chair to enter the place to entertain the women's family!

Mu Qingya took Leqin and Leqi to follow the leading maid all the way into Cuiyunxuan! It's already lively here! Three or two well-dressed ladies gathered together to talk and laugh softly, with smoke flowing and fragrant wind, which was particularly pleasing to the eyes! As soon as she walked in, Chen Wanxiang's voice sounded: "Miss San is coming. Come in quickly!"

Chen Yuxiang combed her hair with a flowing cloud bun, inserted gold silk and eight treasures to save pearl hairpins, and a gold-drawn flower step swaying to her ears, swaying brilliantly and postures while walking! One face-to-face comparison with other ladies!

"Miss Chen is polite! Ladies and gentlemen, be courteous!" Mu Qingya lowered her head and lowered her eyelids slightly!

This is the first time others have seen Mu Qingya since she fell into the water. There were rumors that Mu Qingya seemed to have changed since she woke up from the water. They still sneered and listened to it as a joke. However, after seeing her today, they suddenly found that Mu Qingya had really changed! In the past, in order to show her identity and compete with Chen Wanxiang, she was gorgeously dressed and speechless, which was simply a joke in the eyes of the ladies! I didn't expect to see you today. She was dressed in a water-pink cloud and smoke dress embroidered with oblique branches and plum blossoms. Her face was slightly powdered. Her hair was tied up with a begonia white jade hairpin, and several silver gold silk bead flowers next to her, exuding a noble atmosphere. The simple decoration did not weaken her temperament by half, but made her clearer. Unparalleled! Everyone looked at her and felt as if she were standing in the clouds, making them ashamed! Even when she lowered her head and saw the salute, it did not relieve the discomfort in everyone's hearts!

After the return gift, everyone sat down again! Chen Wanxiang took Mu Qingya close and sat in the top position: "Miss Mu San, why didn't you see Jing Lan and Shi Ling? Didn't they say to come together?"

"When I came here, I heard that there was something wrong with the gift they prepared, and now it's almost there!"

"Jinglan and Shiling always meet so much. I have already said that there is no need to prepare any gifts, and it's already to give me face!"

The two looked like they were smiling and talking happily, which surprised everyone. It is well known that Mu Qingya and Chen Wanxiang have a bad relationship. In the past, they met each other was not tit-for-tat. Today's scene is really shocking!

Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling also arrived in Cuiyunxuan soon. The two are still in similar costumes and different styles, which is particularly eye-catching!

"Jinglan and Shiling, you are here. Why did you come so late!" Chen Wanxiang said.

"We're late, Miss Chen, don't blame us!"

Seeing that their faces were pale and their smiles were a little ugly, Chen Wanxiang asked with concern, "What's wrong with you two? Why are you so ugly? Is there something wrong with you?"

Mu Jinglan was slightly shocked: "No, it's okay! It's just that the coachman was a little scared when he came!"

Chen Wanxiang nodded and didn't say anything more, but she was very angry. Today is her father's birthday. The two of them are really unlucky to look like they are going to die. Sure enough, they are a common daughter who can't get on the table, hum!

The guests had arrived, and everyone began to sit down. Mu Qingya, as the eldest daughter of the Mu family, was in front of the two sisters. She was not in a hurry to sit down, but walked to Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling with ugly faces, took their hands and whispered, "What's wrong with the two sisters? I didn't feel well before I came here. I'm not feeling well now! I think it's better not to walk around in the future, otherwise it won't hurt anywhere!"

Leqin stood next to Leqi, with a happy smile in her eyes. Looking at Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling's restless and pale faces, she must have played a role in the arrangement of the lady in the yard in an instant! Before coming, the young lady asked them to bury a lot of nails in the yard. She has always been puzzled. Now it seems that the young lady is really clever! I have known that these two people are impure, otherwise how could they go to the yard when the young lady comes out? Fortunately, Miss has been arranged for a long time, otherwise I don't know what to lose! Looking at their appearance, I guess they didn't enter the lady's room, otherwise they may not be able to come to this banquet!

Mu Shiling's face was even worse, and her voice smelled like gritting teeth: "Mu Qingya, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Mu Qingya's eyes changed and her eyes were full of coldness. "It means to put away your lame thoughts. At this time, I don't care about you. You'd better be honest with me. I don't want to clean up the housework at this time!"

Mu Shiling retreated in horror. In Mu Qingya's cold eyes, she only felt that her legs were weak. The smell of ice made her breathless. She subconsciously grabbed Mu Jinglan's hands and found that her hands and feet were as cold as herself!

When they came to their senses, Mu Qingya sat in front! Just now, their conversation voice was very low. In the eyes of outsiders, it was just that Mu Qingya pulled the two concubines and said a few words! In particular, Mu Qingya turned around and looked so smiling. Everyone sighed for a moment that this Mu Qingya was really different! Only Mu Jinglan and Mu Shi were inspired by the warm touch left on their wrists, and their whole body was like falling into an ice cellar!

Chen Wanxiang, as the master, has a moderate advance and retreat, and his words and deeds are decent. For a while, Cui Yunxuan's atmosphere is very harmonious!

Mu Qingya held a small wine glass, but only made a few words when Chen Yuxiang asked, not much! But everyone was surprised to find that their eyes were involuntarily focused on her, and their thoughts were complicated! Previously, when she competed with Chen Wanxiang, they always had to look at her, but now she has no dispute, but they can't ignore her!

At this time, Mu Qingya was not in the mood to guess what these ladies were thinking. She was waiting for the movement in the front yard! At this time, the banquet in the front yard will definitely begin, so it's time to play!
